Ten different couples, ten encounters, ten relationships. Relationships based on greed, on sex, habit, curiosity, egotism, double standards, love. The Blue Room, David Hare’s rethinking of the classic La Ronde, works its way through a daisy chain of varied characters, as they meet and then part in a never-ending cycle. Thought-provoking, funny, bitter and tender, it asks the question: is it ever possible to know someone else, no matter how intimate you are?
